#1 Australian Greens senator Rachel Siewert said many people would take offence at Ms Vale's comments. "I think they're insensitive, I think she actually needs to concentrate on the real issues

The now generation in action.

#2 Australian Greens senator Kerry Nettle had no problem offending Catholics though! (and if someone could explain the proper way to add a link I'd be grateful :-) )

#3 In the post comment window, simply create some descriptive text - even "Link" will do, lol - highlight it with your mouse, click the "Link button" you see just below the text box you're typing in, and fill in the URL. Very easy if you've already put the URL in the cut/paste buffer.

If this doesn't work with the browser you're using, such as Mozilla Firefox, blame them - and change browsers.

#6 The "outbreed" argument is actually very valid.
Australia really should care, and kudos to this lady.

This is even one of the major weapon of the *colonization* of Europe and other parts of the world by muslim minorities bankrolled by the islamintern.

There are about 300 000 abortions in France each year, and about 350 000-500 000 migrants entering the country (not counting the kiddies under 15); you do the maths... add the low "ethnic french" natality (1,2 I've heard) against the higher african natality (2,5 for north Africans, 5,5 for black africans), for a total of 1,94 in 2005, and you've got a recipe for disaster, especially when taking age into account.
According to a left-leaning but very un-pc scholar, JP Gourévitch, in his famous book based on suimple and realistical demographical projections, nothing fancy, in 2060 about 2/3 of the french population will be muslim.

Supposedly, right now about 1/3 of the births in France come from migrants, a contreversial figure I've re-heard recently during a tv debate, by a leftist woman who was *happy* the migrants helped "repopulate France by providing 30% of the births". Of course, it didn't occur to her that the need to "repopulate" was because she and her Frankfurt school gramscist buddies destroyed western civilization, and made it enter a deathspiral with natality almost at half-remplacement level everywhere in Europe.

Modernity as it is now is simply unsustainable. I'm not anti-abortion/pro life per se, I'm not opposed to homosexuality, I do believe in personal freedom, but when in Rome recently you've got a demonstration against Benedict XVI and in support of free-abortion and homosexual marriage, you can't help to wonder at the nihilism and "anti-life" message this carries.

I like "Spengler" in Asia Times, and I fully suscribe to his(?) views. Truly, we're entering an age of extinction, and some civilizations are dying... and it's suicide. Islam itself faces dire prospects, but it is not a predator, it is a carrion feeding off suicidal West.

#7 A quibble:

"it [Islam] is not a predator, it is a carrion feeding off suicidal West"

It does both.

#8 Yes, I see your point; IMHO it is a predator against "live" foes like the USA, Israel, India,... which are "ennemies" to be fought, while when it comes to Europe, it is a carrion, for lack of better words.

Sorry if I always repeat the same stuff, but the real prize of islam nowadays is Europe, as emphasized by Al qaradawi, who expressly sez that "islam will return to Europe as a conqueror, not by the sword, but by dawa". Theses guys truly believe, as many, many, many "Moderate (european) Muslims"(tm) secretly, that Europe will be theirs before the turn of 21st century, and they're probably right if nothing changes.

It's a concerted, willful effort by the "islamintern", using population shift, subversion, and corruption, with the complicity of the euro-Elites. I do believe in the Eurabia thesis.

#9 Your posts are great, no criticism intended, bro. :-)

I'll add that they're after "live" prey, too - they certainly seem to have a serious woodie for Thailand, for instance.

#10 This Islamophobia is just getting out of control and it's quite dangerous...

Yeah! It's not like Islam is used to justify gang rapes, riots, and terrorism!

#12 Boy, it's really gonna suck when those 2 issues (Islamic immigration vs. American's aborting themselves out of existence) go head to head here in the States. I've often wondered of these projections, though, how much INTEGRATION plays a role. For example, most Muslims I know here in the U.S. are actually only having 1-2 kids per couple (like the American "standard"), so I take that as them becoming more American. I guess the melting pot still lives more here than in Europe, though.

#13 Mrs. Rightwing and myself have just had our 4th Judeo-Roman Catholic-native American child. Interesting ethnic balance, I do agree but one firmly entrenched conservative family values. Being in the Fire Service I do see some of the horrors of Ghetto demographics. We do need to integrate some minorities better. My family is an example of success.
